Questions to Ask Before Booking Hair Extensions

By Maria, top-master with 20 years of experience · Updated 28 August 2026

Quick answer: Before booking, ask four simple things: what hair do you actually use, is the quoted price all-in, what guarantee comes with the work, and how is removal carried out. The way a studio answers these questions tells you almost everything, since a serious studio replies clearly and in detail while a risky one stays vague. Ask them all before you hand over any deposit. Book on WhatsApp.

What should you ask about the hair?

Ask straight out whether the hair is 100% real hair with an intact cuticle, or the cheaper Asian hair that has been stripped and coated in silicone. It is worth pressing on, because Premium Slavic hair with its cuticle intact does not tangle, lasts over a year and can be reused at each correction, while coated hair mats after a few washes. This single answer predicts most of what your experience with the extensions will be.

What should you ask about price and guarantee?

Ask whether the quote covers the hair, the work and the colour match together, with no separate fees appearing later, so you know the number you are told is the number you pay. Then ask what guarantee stands behind the work. We give a written Zero Damage guarantee on the application, plus a 30-day fix-it-free period for any bond that slips early. A studio that cannot name a clear guarantee is one to be careful with.

What should you ask about correction and removal?

Ask how often a correction is needed, what each one will cost, and exactly how removal is carried out when the time comes. A good answer is a correction every 3 to 4 months and safe removal with a dedicated solution that dissolves the keratin bond so nothing is pulled from your own hair. Clear, specific replies are the sign of a studio that knows its work, while vague answers on timing, cost or removal are a real warning sign.

A micro capsule is

a small keratin bond of about 0.4 to 0.5 grams for normal to thick hair, giving natural volume and staying hidden under the top layers.

What does real hair extension work in Dubai look like?

Real clients in my studio, not stock photos: every frame is taken right after the fitting, with no retouching of volume. Swipe through results on Premium Slavic hair with invisible bonds and look at the hairline and the parting, where cheap extensions give themselves away first.

How do the bonds look and move up close?

Short vertical clips of the process and real results, so you can see how the bonds look and move before you book. The videos play on tap and have no sound, and the technique they show is the same work you will get in the chair at The H Hotel.

Good extensions cannot be told apart from your own hair. If a bond shows or you feel it, the size is wrong, and that is fixable.
